Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage complications extending from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
